Since I'm watching the episodes again once a week for the weekly discussions, I'm going to limit myself to the episodes we've discussed so far. My favorite "Angela's smile" happens in "Dancing in the Dark." Angela, while we hear the dance instructions to Patty and Graham given by the dance instructor, walks to Jordan's car. With some effort, she doesn't look down or lose her balance, she leans into the car window, and she remembers to smile. Her smile is so bright and inviting. It takes my breath away.

Patty: If Rayanne's not seeing you, and we're not seeing you, who is seeing you?
Graham: And how much of you?
Angela: Dad!
Graham: Oh, I'm sorry! I asked a question about your life, didn't I? Woah, what came over me?http://www.last.fm/user/TomSpeed/

I love that smile! Its very daring for her, I believe it shows alot of self esteem for her character. You know, at times I'm suprised Angela is so confident around Jordon, simply because she's so nervous and "obsessed"...and her overall character.... Do you know what I mean???

Angela is a little green. But, she sure is game. She's not afraid to take a chance. The gas and brake pedals are her friends. She doesn't go out of control. We join her journey in "Pilot" just in time to see her take the car of her growing up out of the driveway. Her smile in "Dancing in the Dark" is one of her early taps on the gas pedal. The smile tells me she's not terrified of going over a couple curbs. This "Angela's smile" gets me every time.

What makes her action to take that walk and make that smile even more impressive is her revelation in the preceeding scene to Rickie and Rayanne about how frightened she is to actually make it happen and that she thinks she prefers the fantasy to the potential reality.

Great character moment topped off with a classic smile.

Megs,

If that smile and dance in Why Jordan Can't Read don't make you feel good you must have a heart of stone.

You can see her trying to hold back the smile but it is bursting forth. After all, she has just realized her dream of having a conversation and sex (well, kissing) with Jordon and it is likely the happiest moment of her life.
